Ashley Orkus came to the rescue, reaching high to paw the ball out to safety. The 3-0 advantage held through the halftime break, and while Ole Miss immediately jumped back on the front foot in the second stanza, it was Middle Tennessee who had an early look as a ball over the top sent the Blue Raiders in on goal. In the 21 st minute, O'Connor made it 3-0, pouncing on a loose ball in the box and unleashing a wicked strike with her right peg that gave the Blue Raider keeper no chance. With a two-goal lead in two, Ole Miss kept its foot on the gas. McGuire made no mistake of the opportunity, swinging with her left to bulge the net. Taking a feed from O'Connor, Montgomery took one touch and dished off a through ball to a wide-open McGuire in the center of the 18. Just a few minutes later, Montgomery returned the favor. Collecting a ball inside the 18, McGuire turned her defender and drove to the endline before sending a square ball across, finding Lauren Montgomery for a tap in with her right foot. Ole Miss wasted no time getting on the board, taking a 1-0 lead less than five minutes in.
On the other end, Ashley Orkus and the Rebel defense stretched it's goalless streak to 270:00 with a third straight clean sheet.
Mo O'Connor scored her 15 th goal in a Rebel kit, also posting an assist. Marykate McGuire played a hand in all four Rebel scores, bagging a brace and dishing out a pair of assists for six points on the night.
12 Ole Miss (3-0-0) jumped out early and never looked back Thursday night, passing the first road test of the season, 4-0, over Middle Tennessee (0-2-0).
